When dealing with water pressure there is no head unless the pipe is blocked off right?

If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.


What type of pipe do you use to hook up a water riser?

water pipe


How much more pressure does it take to push water up a vertical pipe than if the pipe is on a 45 degree angle?

it takes the same pressure if the vertical heights the same but since the 45 degree pipe would be longer it would create more flow restriction.


How does water get into water towers?

Water is forced up through a pipe or pipes.


Why does a washing machine drain pipe keep overflowing even when there are no obstructions in the pipe?

The washing machine is pumping out water faster than the drain pipe can handle. A trap in the drain pipe to which the washing machine hose is attached is required and that makes the water flow slower than you might expect. Having the washing machine some distance from the main drain line requiring a long horizontal run in the machine's drain pipe will also result in a slower flow. Other causes could be: undersized waste pipe, backward wyes or santees, backgraded piping, backed up gray water system. An obstruction such as a checker piece or poker chip could be lodged within the pipe. Such an obstruction acts as a valve or flap that will pivot out of the way when a snake is pushed through the pipe but pivot closed when water attempts to flow through. Nowadays a two inch drain pipe is recommended. Some cities require two inches or larger. Do not seal around where the washing machine hose is hooked onto the drain pipe as this could overload components within the machine.

Can water flow uphill?

Water can flow up hill if there is some sort of machine that is able to pull it. Water does not naturally flow up hill it always flows downstream due to gravity.


Can floods go up hill?

Water obviously doesn't flow uphill, but if there is a lot of water in something like a valley, it will rise up the hill on either side, so in that way it can go uphill.

How do solder copper pipes with water in them?

That cant be done because as long as there is water in them the temperature of the pipe wont go up enough to allow the solder to flow. you have to remove the water.


Why you want to set up a water tank higher than your house?

Water has the ability to maintain its level . The pressure of water pipe system increase with height , Thus for the easy flow of water in a pipe system , the water tanks are constructed at highest level in your houses.


Underwater pressure--Can you make water flow upward continuously if you vertically submerge one end of a 1-inch pipe 10 meters or more under seawater?

Yes....that is the water will flow up the pipe until it reaches the level of the water and stop. I don't get it. At the surface level the pressure is supposed to be 14.7 psi; doubled at 10 meters deep. If submerging a pipe deep enough for a significant pressure difference, can we harness the continuous upward flow of water for some application?

Why does it take ten minutes for the hot water to travel the last 18 inches to your bathroom tap?

Sounds like you have galvanized pipe. Over time deposits, or scale, build up inside these pipes from the minerals present in all tapwater. This build-up narrows the diameter of the pipe to a very few millimeters, thereby restricting water flow. The best solution for this is to re-pipe, as much as you can, with copper piping. Copper does not have a problem with scaling. If that's too expensive re-pipe with galvanized pipe. One way or another, you'll need to do some re-piping to improve your water flow.
